Two hours later, the grand ballroom was completely empty of all the wealthy party guests.
Police officers took Julian into custody to investigate the old child hiding agreement.
Clara sat on a cozy couch in the quiet estate library with a warm blanket wrapped around her shoulders.
Leo sat right next to her, sipping a cup of hot cocoa with extra sweet marshmallows.
A kind family lawyer sat across from them with a stack of legal papers on the table.
Lawyer: We will handle the legal custody court cases immediately, Clara.
Clara: I want every single dollar of his inheritance secured safely in a permanent trust fund.
Lawyer: Of course. Your full estate control will be restored to you by tomorrow morning.
Leo looked around the large room filled with books, feeling safe for the first time in years.
He reached out gently and touched the white scar near Clara's wrist once more.
Leo: Are you sure you are going to be okay without that man around?
Clara: I am better than okay, Leo. I finally have my real family back with me.
She bent down and placed a gentle kiss right on top of his messy hair.
The dark shadows of her lost memory were finally gone, replaced by light and deep love.
They had a long journey of healing ahead of them, but they were together now.
Leo: Can we stay here together forever?
Clara: Yes, sweetie. Nobody will ever pull our hands apart again.
Clara squeezed his hand tightly, knowing that her real life had just truly begun.
